Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a good understanding of their responsibility to keep children safe and who to contact if they have any concerns about children's welfare. Thorough risk assessments are carried out daily to help keep children safe. Recruitment and vetting procedures are robust to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Leaders arrange regular supervision and monitoring meetings for staff so everyone has sufficient support and training to fulfil their roles. For instance, staff attend training to understand how to develop children's holistic play and their communication and language skills. This has a positive impact on outcomes for children. Staff work with a range of professionals, for example the local specialist adviser, to provide individually planned programmes of support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are experienced and dedicated. They consider children's interests and backgrounds well, and provide appropriate support for them. Staff expertly model what they want children to learn and step back in a timely way. This enables children to fully engage and develop good concentration. For example, children develop good mathematical skills as they count and order numbers when building a wooden tower. Staff purposefully engage in children's play and develop their natural curiosity and interests very well. For instance, during a story session about the weather, children learn new words and use magnifying glasses to look closely at the book. They discuss what they will wear and laugh with delight as staff fuel their interest in reading and imaginative play. Children's learning and development are monitored well by their key persons, who work in close partnership with parents and other professionals to close gaps in learning and support individual

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are kind and caring, and children play happily with them. There is a successful settling-in procedure where staff offer home visits and gain lots of information about children's routines and interests. This helps children to quickly develop a sense of belonging and builds on their confidence and emotional well-being. Children play for extended periods of time, learn new skills and are encouraged to make independent choices from a range of sensory resources, such as soil, jelly water and sensory equipment. Staff promote children's independence and hygiene skills effectively. Children learn to manage their self-care needs independently, such as washing their hands at appropriate times, and enjoy opportunities to take exercise and play outside in the fresh air.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good progress from their starting points, including children with additional funding. Children show a keen interest in books, singing songs and rhymes. Older children enjoy acting out characters in stories and anticipate what happens next, while younger children move around with confidence and express their needs well. Children are well equipped with the skills they need in readiness to move on to school.
